Poland > Private equity
Deloitte Legal, Ostrowski, Gizicki i Wspólnicy sp.k. boasts a multi-disciplinary approach to its private equity work, with the department able to utilise the firm’s strong tax, and banking and finance capabilities to provide clients with an all-encompassing offering; this includes sales, acquisitions, restructurings, and spin-offs, and the group frequently acts on both the buy and sell-side of private equity-backed deals. Tomasz Ciećwierz leads the team with a varied client roster consisting of strategic investors, financial sponsors, high-net-worth individuals, and managers of acquired companies. Ryszard Manteuffel and Jacek Korzeniewski are also names to note.
Poland > Commercial, corporate and M&A
The corporate and M&A department at CMS is notably strong in public M&A transactions, and clients often turn to the group for assistance with mandates in the energy, chemical, consumer products, TMC, manufacturing, logistics, and banking spaces. Of particular note is its advice to investment and capital venture funds on their transactions. Rafał Zwierz – who is qualified in Poland, the US, and the UK – leads the team. Other key names within the practice include Sławomir Czerwiński and counsel Olga Czyżycka-Szczygieł; the former has experience in assisting private equity houses and corporates with investments, exits, joint ventures, and mergers, and the latter has expertise in corporate issues, including restructurings and reorganisations.
